Your Netgear wireless modem router connects all the computers and online-ready devices in your business to the Internet. The modem router broadcasts a signal over a channel to communicate with computers on the network. If a router in a nearby room or building uses the same channel as yours, you may experience interference and periodic connection problems. These problems can cause you or your employees to lose important work. Changing the channel of the modem router will allow it to communicate with devices without interference.
